A new beginning with a bed and a stove

Date Posted: 05/14/2026

The family is very grateful for the help they have received! The mother says that her son used to sleep on the floor because their bed was unusable, and they often had sleepless nights because she was afraid he would be bitten by an insect. They were forced to get rid of their old bed because it was unusable, and now they are grateful to be sleeping comfortably without fear. They are also grateful because they used to cook with firewood, and now they have a stove, a gas tank, and pots for cooking. "It's a blessing to cook on a new stove and pots. I am very happy and grateful. When I cook, I thank God even more, as I do every day, for being attentive to our needs, and we praise Him because He provides for each one of them in His time," says the mother. The family prays for each of the donors and asks for health, salvation, and well-being for each one in the name of Jesus. They say: Thank you!

About the Cause

Centro de Desarrollo Integral Jesús es mi Capitán

Posted by Centro de Desarrollo Integral Jesús es mi Capitán in Dominican Republic on 03/10/2026

Dignora is a mother, a wife, and the heart of her home. Every morning she wakes up hoping her phone will ring and a family will call her to clean. She doesn't have a steady job; her income depends on the days she manages to find a house to work in. There are good weeks, but there are also days when the silence of the phone weighs more than the exhaustion. Her husband works in construction, but only when an opportunity arises. Construction doesn't always offer consistent work, and when there's no job, there's no income. The little they manage to scrape together barely covers the rent and puts food on the table. The three of them live in their small space: Dignora, her husband, and their daughter. Out of necessity, they share a single bed. It's not for comfort, but because they have no other choice. Every night they arrange their bodies as best they can, trying to rest so they can start again the next day with the same struggle and the same hope. Today they don't ask for luxuries. They don't dream of grand things. They just need a bed where their daughter can sleep comfortably and a stove that allows them to prepare their meals safely and with dignity. Small things that are commonplace for many, but for this family mean rest, warmth, and a chance to live more peacefully. With a little support, we can transform their nights and ease their daily burden. Because everyone deserves a good night's sleep and a warm home.
